Sleepy Hollow High

Summary: About As Scary As An Episode Of Pokemon. Wait...Bad Example
Review: "Sleepy Hollow High" is, without a doubt, the worst horror film ever made. The acting is atrocious. The story is laughably bad. And the budget is equal to the price of a loaf of bread. Which means I had to have it!

I am a lover of bad films, so I picked it up on VHS as soon as I saw it. (Of course, I have to keep it outside, so it won't stink up the house.) Then, when I heard it was coming to DVD, I, immediately, jumped online and ordered it. (Actually, I think I paid more for the VHS than the DVD.) So, if you love crappy movies like I do, order it. (Plus, if you order a copy, then the film-makers have already tripled their profit.) The DVD also contains deleted scenes (snicker) and commentary track by the film-makers (lol), so you can't go wrong with this disc. I must warn you though. The running time printed on the box says 90 minutes. My VCR clocked the running time to be about 76 minutes.

But, the story...ah, yes...a group of kids go into the woods and one by one fall victim to a headless horseman or something.... Hell, I don't know. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to catch all of the story.

Summary: the other reviewers liked this?? why???
Review: "This was a strong cast, with strong performances and good looks which always helps."

Were we both watching the same movie?

Because the Sleepy Hollow High that I watched did not have a strong cast, strong prformances, nor good looks.

For starters, the movie made no sense. It was put together sloppily and the way it ended made you not only think you had wasted the time watching it but left you of course wondering what the filmakers were trying to accomplish with the story they started at the end. The acting was terrible. The sets were terrible. The lighting was terrible. The dialog was terrible.

There were a number of strange plotlines developed that never went anywhere. The boy being harrassed at the beginning. The mask in his car. The teacher (c'mon...his name was Mr. E. Get it...Mr.E...mister e, mystery). The counselor/principal/whatever at the end. It made no sense.

I spent seven dollars on the video version of this. I could have just as easily burned that seven dollars. I think that would have been easier to watch.

If I never see this movie again, it will be too soon.

Summary: What? I can't give a lower rating than 1 star???
Review: Can a movie possibly be worse than this one? No. This movie stunk eight ways from Sunday. The acting was horrible. The filming was horrible. The plot was horrible. The script was horrible. The whole premise was horrible.

The best part of the whole movie was getting to see the various [characters] get killed off.

When I die, if I find I wasn't as good as I needed to be, I'll be spending eternity watching this movie.

Summary: Utterly Horrible
Review: If I could I would give this movie negative stars. The costumes: They look like they were made by a middle school drama class. The angles of which it was shot at are horrible and you can never tell what is going on as the screen is practically black all the time. I swear this movie was made with a webcam. I would rather hang myself with my own intestines than watch this again.

Summary: Worse acting than a Mentos commercial.
Review: If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I love low budget horror. Unfortunately, this train wreck of a movie is so bad that it isn't even funny. The camera shots are often so dark that you can't tell what is going on. There is one decent killing where big streams of blood squirts from a body like a Monty Python movie, but otherwise there is nothing here to even keep your attention. Negligible gore, no nudity, horrible acting, awful camera work, no originality...... I could go on. I honestly can say that I haven't fast forwarded through very many movies, but after 45 minutes of this stuff I did and you will too! Stay away from this steamer!

Review: My kids enjoyed this horror movie very much. I enjoyed it for the fact that it was something they could watch. Which is rare.

Summary: Sleepy Headache
Review: This is a pretty stinky (...), even if you're someone like me who generally appreciates homegrown horror films on zero budgets. The concept of a Headless Horsemen masked slasher stalking kids at Sleepy Hollow High had promise and certainly interested me enough to purchase the DVD. Sadly, this film seems to wallow in its ineptitude. Since I could tell the crew only had one good light to use, I was terrified that the plot was leading up to night scenes for the climax. My fears came to life as everything became too dark to see and actors spent whole scenes standing in the only available light without being able to move. The documentary and commentary didn't do much to improve my respect for the director, who spends most of the documentary wearing a woman's dress and acting silly. He seems to be trying to imitate either Trey Parker or Ed Wood (or both), but manages to make both look like incredible artists by comparison. Beware!
